At the moment Norah wakes up and within a few minutes is crying "mommy mommy" but maybe if she had something visual to help her stay in her crib and play. Good idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/attention-parents-of-early-risers#post-1813632 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 10:25:53 +0000 looch 1813632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ms.janedoe: Front loading for the win! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/attention-parents-of-early-risers#post-1813630 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 10:24:11 +0000 Kelley_lovelikecrazy 1813630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My little one is only 9 months. But I had a friend tell her daughter that she couldn't get up until the clock said 7 00. She was older and could recognize numbers. One morning she slept all the way until 8 - and then never got out of bed. When my friend asked why she said "I was waiting for the clock to say 7 oh oh." :) </p> <p>But could you do a lamp on a timer? She can get out of bed when the lamp comes on? Not sure if she is old enough for it to work, but its an idea? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/attention-parents-of-early-risers#post-1813303 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 08:45:15 +0000 Turd Ferguson 1813303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Yep. Exactly this. If I don't get a good 8-12 stretch, my night is pretty much shot. Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/attention-parents-of-early-risers#post-1813294 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 08:41:11 +0000 looch 1813294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have two kids, but I have an early riser and the only way I can deal with it is to go to bed really early. My best stretch of sleep is between 8 and midnight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/attention-parents-of-early-risers#post-1813285 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 08:39:21 +0000 meredithNYC 1813285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My SIL is going through this right now and it's rough! Is there any way you can "train" your LO to hang out in her crib until a certain time? We have started using a Gro Clock with LO and while I don't think she totally gets the concept, she will hang out in her crib and play (she has about a million stuffed animals in there) and talk to herself until the sun comes up on the clock, indicating that it's time to get up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/attention-parents-of-early-risers#post-1813128 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 07:29:59 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1813128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is why I am in no rush to get C out of the crib before the baby. I have been works on just going to bed earlier and will likely do that even earlier when the baby is here </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/attention-parents-of-early-risers#post-1813087 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 06:41:28 +0000 Mamaof2 1813087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know how I handle it - oh wait yes I do - DS was still in his crib so he had to stay there while I nursed DD and showered!</p> <p>DS will be 6 next month and he still doesn't sleep much - I am still holding out hope for those teenage years where kids sleep till noon but its not looking likely for my DS :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/attention-parents-of-early-risers#post-1813081 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 06:38:02 +0000 mkp17 1813081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as @Sparkler. My husband usually gets up with #1 and lets me have an extra hour or so until I go back to work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/attention-parents-of-early-risers#post-1813080 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 06:36:13 +0000 Sparkler 1813080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an early rising toddler. My husband got up with #1 and I would sleep in until 7 or 730. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/attention-parents-of-early-risers#post-1813073 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 06:18:43 +0000 autumn865 1813073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an early riser. It is something we have tried to change with no success so now at almost 2 years old we have come to accept and embrace the fact that she likes to go to bed early (7pm) and wake up early (5:30 to 6am). </p> <p>My question is how did you deal with a new baby and the sleep deprivation that comes with it and your early riser older child? I am so excited for a new baby but absolutely TERRIFIED of being up all night with a baby and then up for the day at 5:30 :bummed: </p>
